Hi all, ..first post.
To the creator of FreeType, I have successfully integrated FreeType into a GIS engine I developed and FT is simply awesome! I wrote a very basic c++ wrapper around freetype that supports the basic stuff you would do with truetype fons, rotation, scaling, different colors, outlining, nounding box calculations etc... It is dependent on some other stuff, but if any of you are interested in it I can put it somewhere for your full use as you like. (You will ofcourse have to modify it to get it to compile as it depends on other windows specific GDI rendering stuff for the GIS engine). Or drop me a mail at jacovdw0000 at hotmail.com And I'll send you the files. (PS, this wrapper is largely based on one of the sample implementations that came with FR 2.1.10) Thanks Jaco. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Werner LEMBERG Sent: 24 May 2006 13:35 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ft] How to get the char width (bitmap width) without rendering > I need get the string width before drawing. So how to get the char > width (bitmap width) without rendering ? If you need exact values, you have to render it (and caching the created bitmaps for efficiency). This is because some formats like TrueType adjust the advance width values during the hinting process. Otherwise, loading the glyphs is sufficient to extract the linear advance width.
